It is in proportion, as we are known to him that we find our real being and identity in Christ. We know him in and through ourselves in so far as his truth is the source of our being and his merciful love is the very heart of our life and existence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7900</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not often you get a tie in swimming.

"Ye shall search for me with all your heart." He makes a direct call to us for single-mindedness: a single-minded longing for Him -- no lesser aim will do; no desire to be good, no striving to measure up to some standard we have set for ourselves, to correct some failure we have been shown in our way of life. These may be temporarily necessary, but they will turn to dust and ashes, they will end in a grim dryness, unless at the back of them all is what He asks of us --a never-ending search for a real knowledge of Him, for a sense of His reality, a confidence in His companionship, a joy and delight in the very person of God Himself. It is for this that we must learn to long and long, till our prayers for it become not just a form of words, but a stretching out of our whole being to Him.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    November 27, 1999  When God finished man He breathed into the human form the divine life, "and man became a living soul." Man is created to be a witness and likeness of God. God and man are so near to one another that it was possible for the Eternal Word to become Man without ceasing to be God, to re-ascend to the Highest without dehumanizing the Manhood which He had assumed; so near that the believer may say in the fullest meaning of the words, "I live, yet not I, but Christ".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Borrowing is not much better than begging. [Ger., Borgen ist nicht viel besser als betteln.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3926]]></link><description><![CDATA[Borrowing is not much better than begging. [Ger., Borgen ist nicht viel besser als betteln.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm pleased overall with what we've done in the spring.

The gates have been opened to evil in part because of a terrible discrepancy between human ideals and actual possibilities -- terrible heresies concerning the nature of man and the structure of the historical universe. Christianity, even if it cannot persuade men to rise to the contemplation of the spiritual things, embodies principles which may at least have the effect of bringing the dreamers down to earth. Because it confronts the problem of human sin, it can face our difficulties and dilemmas without evasions -- without the fundamental evasiveness of those who believe that all would be well with the world if it were not for a few unspeakable criminals, always conveniently identified with the political enemy of the moment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How far that little candle throws its beams; So shines a good deed in a naughty world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51420]]></link><description><![CDATA[How far that little candle throws its beams; So shines a good deed in a naughty world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm proud of the whole team's effort.
